This is crazy...how the bible can be misread, misinterpreted, and distorted; an excerpt from the news article:
Robinson also said Wednesday that the "big news" in the report is that it "opens the door to worldwide discussion" about the roles of gays and lesbians in the church.
Robinson, 57, a divorced father who lives with his male partner, pointed out that the moratorium on ordaining gays is not a permanent ban. "Moratoria get lifted," he said.
He said he finds it "astoundingly important" that there was no call to repentance and that the report stresses the great value of remaining in communion — willing to meet and pray together."
"Unity is not in unanimity over a particular issue, but in Jesus Christ," he said. "The communion is about relationships, not about laws. The report is very Gospel-like in this way. Jesus was always breaking laws and finding ways to love someone and to do the right thing."

Disgusting! He's speaking the language of evangelicals but with half truths mixed in!
Welcome to the REAL world
As a Christian who struggles with homosexuality I find it offensive that Christian churches turn their backs on the truth of Scripture and make the message of Christ suit the impulses of this world's itching ears. It makes the struggle against homosexual desires feel fruitless.
